This thread needs a bump. One of my climbing partners finally got a decent camera, so here are some shots from a few weeks ago in the Bluffs.

Maybe not the best belay set up, but a belay's almost a formality on this route.

Byron on...? You tell me.

Yours truly, my beautiful woman keeping me off the deck. I never noticed how tight she keeps the rope, ha ha.

I miss the sun. Waiting for the dry in Squish seems almost strenuous sometimes, especially if you don't spend winters gliding around the snow on fibreglass or strapping knives to your feet and hands while hoping they don't cut your rope.
I got hopeful we'd have a nice spring after a great January, but here we are. I've turned to drink, I hope y'all are in better shape.

You're right about Clean Starts, Luke. Surprised you didn't recognize the second one, as *somewhere* in this thread there's a pic of you on the same route with the same colour helmet giving out free tix to the gun show...

Bumbling up candy-ass 5.8s at Red Rocks, that's where. It'll probably take him a full year to come to terms with Squamish climbing again. And he may have completely ruined his chances of ever climbing at Index.

Highly doubt that!! Sandstone is rad but granite is my first love. Index is a must also. As to the grades I've been climbing, well, you can't always get what you want... But at least I've been climbing 9 out of the last 11 days... Can you say that Dave??

I added the anchors under the roof and cleaned up the first pitch of the Terror; we also added a proper anchor to the end of the route. I was distracted by other projects and my partner took it over. The route goes at 11b/c by Finlayson and that bolt has sprouted since last summer, he cleaned the pitch and sent the same day.
